Three months in, the Labour UK government continues to unravel at a frightening speed. To the point where a Cabinet Minister was forced to admit more mistakes are likely to come, resorting to a pale excuse that this is a ‘young government’ after 14 years of opposition. Labour’s poll lead over Conservatives has slipped from 18 points to JUST ONE point – and Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s numbers are completely under the water. Downing Street is betting that ‘new structures’ at No 10 would help get the Government out of the ropes after a chaotic period that has led to the…

By Michael Snyder A 15-foot tall wall of water is about to slam directly into a major American city. More than 3 million people live in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area, and hundreds of thousands of them are very tightly concentrated along the coast.

The showrunner for Amazon Prime’s woke The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power streaming series is now claiming that the J.R.R. Tolkien classic is about “climate change.” Patrick McKay, one of the Rings of Power showrunners, comparied the destruction of the dwarf city of Khazad-dûm to climate change, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The producers have chosen to make the fall of the Dwarf kingdom and Khazad-dûm (also called Moria) a more protracted event. The fight over the subterranean city will stretch from season two — which has just ended — into season three. In Tolkien’s original works,…
U.S. Under-Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jose Fernandez on Monday accused China of over-producing lithium in a predatory scheme to push down market prices and drive competing suppliers out of business. “That is an intentional response by the People’s Republic of China to what we are trying to do,” Fernandez said. “They engage in predatory pricing … lower the price until competition disappears.

President Joe Biden spoke directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday for the first time since August, despite the intensification of the war in Lebanon and an Iranian missile attack on Israel last week. Biden has not made a secret of his dislike of the Israeli leader, and the White House was angered last month when Netanyahu ordered an airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, after Biden proposed a ceasefire. Israeli officials were irritated by the Biden administration when the U.S. appeared to leak plans for Israel’s ground invasion of Lebanon last week. That, Israel said, justified…
